Minnesota House 19A special election: Independence Party endorses Tim Gieseke

When Tim Gieseke found out about Representative Terry
Morrow's resignation, the first thing he did was call the Independence
Party. With unanimous approval, he's now running to represent District
19A under the Independence party. Gieseke says, "Change is the game on
how the people feel public policy is written and I can bring that up
there."

Independence Party Chair Mark Meyer says the party's number one hurdle
for this election is voter turnout. Meyer says, "We know based on our
research that people are ready and want change, but the only way to make
that change happen is to care enough to go and vote."

Readers may recognize former Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial School Board member Meyer from the 2008 contest for the Republican endorsement to run against Congressman Tim Walz. Meyer jumped in the race in January, 2007, but garnered little support.
